Lego Star Wars Goes Gold

Fans of Star Wars and Lego are finally united on the GBA...

Eidos announced today that Lego Star Wars for the Game Boy Advance has gone gold and will be released across North America on April 2. Developed by Amaze Studios, the action/adventure title looks as though it will quickly become a cult hit.

This odd representation of the Star Wars universe built by Legos takes place during the prequel saga, Episodes I, II, and III. Every character, spaceship, and environment is made entirely out of Lego and simple toys, giving the game a very distinctive personality.

The game will allow players to choose from over 40 characters to play as during their epic Star Was adventure. Such characters include Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and even Jar-Jar Binks. Each character will have their own unique abilities which must be used decisively in different situations.

Lego Star Wars is rated "E" for Everyone and will retail for $29.99 on the GBA.
